Smoking is haram

All praise is for AllahWe praise Him, seek His help, and ask for His forgiveness.We seek refuge in Allah from the evil within ourselves and from our evil actions.Whomsoever Allah guides, none can misguide,and whomsoever Allah misguides, none can guide.I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, having no partner and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.To proceed:That the most truthful speech is that of Allah's Book and that the best of guidance is that of Muhammad (s.A.w.).It is evident beyond doubt that smoking is injurious to health and Allah says in the Qur'an:

"And make not your own hands contribute to your destruction" (2:195).

Shaykh Abu Bakr Jabir al-Jazairi a Professor in Islamic University of Madinah and a famous teacher in Masjid an-Nabawi has clearly explained the 'Hukm' of smoking derived from the Qur'an and the Sunnah:

"Anything that harms the human body is Haram" "The consensus (Ijma') of Ulama', prohibits the act of destroying property unnecessarily or using it not for the path of Shara' as in the case of smoking" "Bringing harm to others is Haram and so does smoking" "It is clear that Shara' condemns smoking as a disgraceful and damaging act. Smoking is an act of sins and it is wrong for it is Haram and it is Wajib to abstain from it." Ibn Hajr in his 'Fath al-Mubin' gave 2 points why smoking is Haram in Islam: The act leads to harmful effects, whether noticed or unseen. It will cause the body to suffer. The Prophet (s.A.w.) said: "Do not hurt yourselves nor injure others"
